In the Kitchen With Mary

I confess, I like Mary and her kitchen shows and I see she is on for 6 hours today! 10-4, EST. There has got to be some relief at some point, but I think I will enjoy having it on today.

My guess is, QVC has scheduled a repeat ITKWM starting at 10am, then the Live show starting at 1pm. Since her show is typically 3 hours, that's my guess.

I've never known a host to appear for six continuous hours.

QVC2- Most likely first two hours live, then the rest will be replays.

@Sweetbay magnolia - @Caaareful Shopper is correct: A repeat of a previous show is airing until the usual start time of ITKWM at 1 p.m. ET.

And just in case you're up for more kitchen-related programming, Q2 has been airing vendor-hosted shows for several hours after ITKWM every Saturday, and it appears that will happen again today. It's really annoying that they can't be bothered to update the program guide for Q2 to show when programming is live.

Kachina is correct. If it ever appears on the online program guide that a host is appearing for six continuous hours, it is a glitch in the system.

I think she's been live the whole time. 🙋🏼‍♀️

@Sweetbay magnolia - I tuned in just before 12:30 p.m. ET for some background noise while cleaning, and the show had the big "Previously Recorded" label on screen. The new show kicked off at 1:00 p.m. ET as usual, as Mary welcomed everyone and had a Memorial Day weekend introduction. Definitely only live for the past three hours...

@Sweetbay magnolia Her show was only Live from 1pm to 4pm.

The show that started at 10am was pre-recorded (as it stated on the top right of the screen).

I wish QVC would make some sort of notation in the Program Guide to highlight when the Q2 show is Live. They change the hours for live programming, so it can be very confusing sometimes.

She looked pretty saggy to me at the end of it all, but OK.

Mary seemed perfectly fine to me; she hosts her three-hour show every week without any issues, and there wasn't anything different today. Obviously, impressions can be subjective, but this was her last presentation of the show and she was laughing and joking all the way to the end:

I have noticed that ITKWM has become just her sitting there playing with an item---no color choices to show, just go look on the website. No demonstrations, just bad vendor skype videos. It has really sunk to a total low.

@Jimstr - Mary mentioned on the most recent episode that things would be changing somewhat in a few weeks—it was a teaser with only a couple of details, but I believe she noted that the show is even going to change its timeslot on Saturdays. I really hope they stop doing the shows where the host in the studio just has that one variation of an item and the vendors on their not-so-great camera connections are left to try to show us all the colors and details. It gets very frustrating, especially with brand new items. If I wanted to just see what was on qvc.com, I wouldn't watch the show...
